With awards season in full bloom, Hollywood’s brightest stars will soon take center stage. All eyes will be watching as the film industry’s finest professionals prepare to shine and become celebrated toasts of the town. But have you ever wondered what happens privately during the making of a famous movie? Coinciding with the latest big screen honors is “The Art of Behind the Scenes,” a photo series that pays tribute to the on-set still photographers and the unique moments they capture between takes.

“The Art of Behind the Scenes,” on view Feb. 11 – 26 at KP Projects, 170 S. La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, will present an exhibit featuring intimate yet spectacular photographs from the sets of a number of historic films. Previously unknown to the public, whether the cinematic image is Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in their legendary embrace, Quentin Tarantino dancing with Pulp Fiction’s Uma Thurman and John Travolta or David Bowie preparing for The Man Who Fell To Earth, “The Art of Behind the Scenes” has it covered and more.

Curated by Fitch & Partners in collaboration with Jaeger- Le Coultre, this will be the first time that “The Art of Behind the Scenes” has travelled to Los Angeles and is available to the general public. The exhibit will be showcased at KP Projects with a VIP cocktail reception scheduled for February 21. All prints are available for sale both in the gallery and online. You won’t be disappointed. Some of the favorites include a unique perspective shot of Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman, Liz Taylor in an evocative pose on the beach and Clint Eastwood relaxing with his feet up.
